Blueland Cloud Cloth
A cotton-and-cellulose cloth that absorbs about ten times its weight - a plastic-free, compostable answer to both paper towels and microfiber for everyday surface cleaning.
The verdict: Plastic-free
All-natural cotton and plant cellulose, no synthetic fiber - the Swedish-cloth idea in Blueland's line. It's highly absorbent (around 10x its weight), rinses clean, and is fully biodegradable, so it composts when worn out. Blueland publishes an explainer on why microfiber is a plastic-shedding problem, and this is its natural-fiber answer to it.
Verification: Manufacturer confirmed
What it's made of
| Part | Material | Surface contact |
|---|---|---|
| cloth plant cellulose + cotton; biodegradable | Cellulose | Yes primary |
| cloth (cotton content) natural cotton blended with the cellulose | Cotton | Yes primary |
A flat, absorbent cloth for counters, appliances, sinks, and dishes; wet it and it softens and grabs spills, rinse and it dries stiff. Machine-washable and reusable for months, then compostable. Sold in multipacks.
Pros
- Cotton + cellulose, no microfiber; compostable at end of life
- Very absorbent - replaces both paper towels and a sponge cloth
- Rinses and washes clean; dries fast
Cons
- A wipe-and-absorb cloth, not a scrubber for baked-on messes
- Dries stiff between uses (softens instantly when wet)
